In my opinion the next big thing is definitely Altcoins.
If you look at how Bitcoin market dominance has decrease since the start of the year - January (86%) - Today (42%)
Yet the whole crypto market has grown from $16b up to $100b it is clear to see 2017 has been an insane year for Altcoins.
Companies are finally bringing new projects to market which utilize the same technology as Bitcoin (Blockchain) development has taken time but we are getting there and 2018 only looks like its going to get crazier! With the insane amount of ICO’s run this year we will see even more projects come to market next year.
